British Organization Refers to Significance of Victory in Battles in Musan Area

Pyongyang, June 5 (KCNA) -- The Britain-Korea Friendship Association released a statement on May 24 on the occasion of the 75th anniversary of the victory in the battles in the Musan area commanded by President Kim Il Sung.

The statement said that the advance into the homeland by the Korean People's Revolutionary Army and its shining victory of the battles in the Musan area under the outstanding leadership of Kim Il Sung were historic events of great significance in further developing the whole Korean revolution centering around the anti-Japanese armed struggle. They instilled the conviction of great victory into the minds of the oppressed people of the colonial countries who struggled against imperialism and dealt a heavy blow at international fascism, it noted.

The victory of the battles in the Musan area greatly encouraged all the Korean people to positively turn out in the anti-Japanese revolutionary struggle with the faith that they are sure to win and Korea is sure to be liberated as long as there is the Korean People's Revolutionary Army led by him, the statement said.

It clearly demonstrated the truth and vitality of the Songun revolutionary idea that the revolutionary army guarantees the victory of the struggle of the popular masses for the independent cause and the prosperity of the country and nation, the statement noted.
